Storyboard Book

So the Storyboard Book won’t win any awards for originality. Moleskine has been making their own pocket storyboard notebook for a while now. But what the Storyboard Book lacks, it sure makes up for it with presentation. Because, well, just look at those graphics and bright yellow cover! Who would pick a plain black notebook over this one?

A lightweight, portable, and durable sketchbook for storyboarding, sketching, listmaking, visualization, plans, doodles, and just about anything else. The idea is simple: a frame for the action and space for notes, story, dialog, stage directions, enemies lists, etc. The Storyboard Book is designed to be used as a personal sketchbook, but also sized to be handy for project notes and ideas.

Moleskine Colour A Month Daily Planner Box Set

T minus 24 hours until the official gift unwrapping begins, so if you’re still rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off, maybe snap some of these up from your local bookstore and call it a day. Moleskines are great, and despite the mixed reviews on this set, they’re pretty much the perfect gift for artists and note takers, or just someone that always seems unorganized (don’t say that to their face though).

Washi Paper Masking Tape

We’ve posted something like this before, but these have a slight variation in colors and have more of a pastel tone.

This multi-purpose adhesive tape is made of washi, handmade Japanese paper known for its use by artists and craftspeople. It comes in 10 beautiful colors can be used for gift-wrapping, book-marking, arts and crafts, and other projects. It is easy to tear by hand, write on, and remove.

Dot Grid Book

I swear by my graph paper composition notebooks for all my sketches, brainstorming and notetaking. I must admit that I think I’m ready for a change after seeing Behance’s Dot Grid Book.

Favored by free-thinking graphic designers among other creative professionals, Behance’s Dot Grid was developed as an alternative to traditional lines and boxes. The light geometric dot matrix serves as a subtle guide for your notations and sketches. The Dot Grid Book’s cover is a unique suede-to-the-touch hard cover. The pages are made of 80lb Premium Blend paper with a subtle texture (30% post-consumer recycled), double perforated, and three-hole punched between both perforations for maximum flexibility.

Accordion Storage Folder

It’s hard to tell how this differs from the Semikolon Rainbow File ($32). The corners and edges are reinforced with plastic for extra strength, so perhaps it would be a little more durable? Whichever one you prefer, the colors allow for easy sorting of your paperwork.

naoLoop Loft

We all need more storage, and what better way to keep our gadgets and gizmos close at hand than with this sleek organizer? The black shiny one is seriously slick.

naoLoop Loft – A stealth organizing device that binds, carries and displays your important, everyday stuff. naoLoop Loft is a system of naoLoop tension straps fastened to a wall-mounted, steel shield. It goes everywhere – in the bathroom, the living room, the hallway or the work place.

TelePen

Say goodbye to being pen-less with this on your keychain. (However, it might be pointed out that you’d still have to search around for your keys to get to the pen. Also, if you want to see the pen ‘in action’ there’s a dumb video showing just how convenient it can be.)

The ultra-compact TelePen is a handy collapsible pen that attaches to your keychain. Weighing less than an ounce and measuring less than two inches, you’ll hardly notice the diminutive telescoping pen dangling from your keyring.But the TelePen is there when you need it, expanding to nearly the length of a standard pen. Its tough stainless steel exterior protects it from the elements. Includes three black ink refills.

Revolver Bound Journal

This journal kind of reminds me of those wonky wallets that you have to fold over a few times to get to your money. Anyways, it’s two journals in one. One side is lined, the other blank. Watching the video might make you a little dizzy, but you’ll get the gist.

The RevolveR revolutionizes the ancient art of bookbinding. This versatile, high-quality journal is built using the innovative, patent pending Revolver Binding Technique which allows the journal to turn inside out and back again around a floating spine, revealing the surprise of a second folio – actively demonstrating that there are indeed two sides to every story.

Pocket Clip Pencil

Hmm, yes, quite clever, but I think it would be cleverer if it came with some sort of cap so that you won’t get pencil marks everywhere. Although, you could just use a bic pen cap or something similar.

Possibly the worlds cleverest pencil, handmade in east London. Each white pencil has a clip carved into it, so that it can be attached to pockets, satchels and book covers just like a biro. It comes packaged on a coloured card and we think it’s a classic in the making!

Days of the Week Magnets

Yeah, you could make some of these yourself, but will you? These could be super handy for planning out your week if you’re the magnet board type. (Note: don’t underestimate small details in your workspace, sometimes they can make a big difference in motivating you to keep your projects/thoughts organized.)

Infini Letter Opener by Frank Nichols

Letter openers are one of those things that you think you don’t really need until… a) you get a nasty paper cut. b) accidentally tear up an extremely important document in your haste of opening the mail. c) you spot your arch nemesis sneaking up behind your desk with a steak knife. or d) all of the above.
